Detailed Description

This suspension control arm is made for the rear right upper rearward location and is used on a wide range of Audi and Porsche vehicles, including the Audi A4, A5, A6, Q5, S4, S5, and related performance and quattro models, plus the Porsche Macan. The aluminum body and coated finish help provide a durable OE-style replacement, while the included rubber bushing supports proper suspension articulation and alignment control. Dorman 522-780 is a practical choice when replacing a worn rear control arm on Audi A6 Quattro, Audi Q5, or Porsche Macan rear suspension systems.

What It Helps Fix

• Rear suspension clunking or knocking from a worn control arm
• Excessive play in the rear right upper rearward suspension link
• Uneven tire wear caused by suspension geometry issues
• Alignment instability after bushing wear or arm fatigue
• Handling looseness in Audi and Porsche rear suspension assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Install this control arm in the rear right upper rearward position only. Mounting hardware is not included, and the ball joint is not included or preinstalled, so verify the vehicle’s existing service parts before installation. Because this component affects rear suspension geometry, a professional alignment is recommended after replacement. Confirm exact vehicle application by year, make, model, and position before ordering Dorman 522-780.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this control arm as a direct OE replacement and subjects it to testing for fit and function on the listed applications. It is built to meet regular-grade service requirements for compatible Audi and Porsche rear suspension repairs.
